I apologize for not having a picture, but I'll describe it as best I can.
They are black and usually thick, Thicker than IC's. They are usually stuck on a PCB VERY well, like they can be difficult removing with an air hammer. They have thicker leads going into it from one side. When I split them open the base is copper with a roughly rectangular silvery material in the center of the copper pad. The silvery material reaches into the cap. The leads go into the cap, and I assume connect to whatever the silvery material is.
Are these some kind of capaciter, like tantalum? Are they worth keeping?
Thanks
